Before you go too far...take some cardboard and "Mock up" the tank.
Then try to do your regular maintenance in the model.
Also look to see if you will be able to use rock of any size in your tank.
(This shape only lends itself to 2 styles of Aquascaping IMHO, everything piled up on the back corner, or everything piled along the sides.)
Try to figure out how you are going to plumb it.
Where are powerheads/closed loops going to go.
Overflow placement.
Sump - Size, shape, capacity.
Lighting - How are you going to cover the corners?
What I am trying to say is that; it doesn't matter how cool a tank looks/fits in a given area. If you can't work on it to keep it clean and running right, it will become an eyesore.
If it is not easy to keep clean, you won't.
I don't mean to drop a big steaming pile in the middle of your plans...I just would like to see everyone's DIY succeed. I have thought this one out quite a few times, and it always comes out bad.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
